Firefly fans!

Original costumes up for auction from tomorrow!
And yes, that is Mal's original browncoat. Other things include, one of Book's outfits that wasn't used, various Inara outfits, leftover fabric from Kaylee's Shindig dress (I see becky_spence, claire_wain and purpleheather fighting over that one) and other bits. No Jayne hat, though. :o(

Winter back home

Webcam pic from a hill/mountain (depending on your perspective, it's 827m high) near my hometown.
I'm looking forward to my holidays. Hopefully, the snow will still be there then.

As requested

This photo was taken from our back garden at 200mm. The webcam from the earlier post is on the large grey tower (former military listening post into the East), the small tower in the webcam pic can just be seen to the left of the big tower in the large photo (where the trees in the foreground come up to the slope of the hill). 10, 15 years ago, you wouldn't have been able to see the small tower because of the dense trees. Now many trees are dead like elsewhere in central Europe. Acidic rain and bark-beetles being the main causes.

Found this while looking for the previous photo.
I only took this photo to test my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 but the more I look at it, the more I like it so I thought I post it here. It's the different textures that really grab me.
